The company plans to have a portable 18,000 gallon propane tank at 104 Miller Drive, according to John Wazniak, general manager of Crystal Flash.

Semi tractor trailers would off load the propane which would then be trucked to local businesses.

“The company would have a 12-month option to become a permanent business on the site,” Wazniak said.

According to Doug Kuhlman, Code Enforcement officer, the company would operate under a special use permit and would not impact safety. Area gas stations fall under the same use permits and have the same general purpose, Kuhlman said.

Wazniak also noted that the area would be double fenced and crash protected.

The special use permit would require the business to revert within 60 days after closing, if that should happen, provide a $10,000 surety bond, and keep the property secure and locks and keys accessible to police.

If the plant succeeds in the company expectations, the tank site could be used to refine fuel and then move forward to a balk plant, employing as many as 12 people, Wazniak said.

In another matter, the village council asked clerk Maria Spencer to work with Doug Kuhlman in formulating an ordinance establishing a White Pigeon Village Plan Commission.
